RE: How Does Content Go Viral on Reddit?

in #socialmedia8 years ago

Coding and rules imposed by a central authority is always easier. But no raising in consciousness is done. Not a real solution. Practical has nothing to do with the real solution. I'm giving the answer that few understand because of the enormity of the task and it is dismissed as inviable because people often want "fixes" in the "now" and they don't have a long perspective on the past history and vision and imagination for how things can be different and what it takes to get there. The solution is for us to raise ourselves up and lead ourselves through knowledge of reality, what is going on, and that includes ourselves.

People don't want to do the work, that's why it's not "practical", I understand. It would be practical if people understood this. And people aren't going to do this unless it's explained, unless they want to hear it, and unless they want to learn. This is a problem that has been here for centuries and millennia, where we make small strides in collective understandings of things due to illiteracy and an inability to understand ourselves to greater degrees. Now that has changed. We have more chance to get people to be aware of things, if we choose to spread that awareness. My purpose on Steemit is to do this. Popularity is another avenue for me to interject the quality content that matters more for people who would normally never even access it. Laziness, and lazy thinking, is a big factor in why people don't engage in this work to learn how to resolve our problems. It took me years to develop the understanding I have. Time, energy, dedication, determination, persistence.

Anyways, thanks for the feedback ;)
